Installing RC1

[Hugo 0]

I've been trying to install RC1, but after the first

reboot once the "animated" install begins I receive an

error of the form

"Fatal Execption... One of the components Windows needs cannot install....

SXS install failed

E:\i386\asms

incorrect function"

 

This is not an exact quote. Has anyone seen this error?

My setup:

 

ASUS A7A266 mobo

1.2 Ghz Athlon

256 PC133 RAM

onboard c-media sound

GeForce2 GTS

NetGear FA311 NIC

HP 8200 CD-R/RW.

 

Thanks for any help!!

Yeah, I got the exact same message. Trying to install directly from Win2k gave me a similar error.

Is there a resolution to this problem?

Or even a signature to what is causing it?

 

Thanks!

It's a bad cd.

 

Reburn the cd.

 

Try at a lower speed or a better brand of blank cdr's

 

I've had this happen a few times and I just reburned it.

 

Try using a different program to burn the image than the one you used.

 

If the image was on a network drive, copy it over and then burn it.

 

Doing any combination of the options above should get you a working disc.
